MoTeC Interpreter - Manual (Page 8)

6 Software Summary
Software Summary
MoTeC Interpreter is designed for the Windows95/98/ME/XP® and Windows
NT/2000® operating system.
Note: The log data unload feature is only available when operating in
Windows®.
MoTeC Interpreter requires a Pentium® (or equivalent) processor with 16Mb
of RAM (recommended 32Mb).
6Mbytes of hard drive space is required for installation, however it is
recommended that at least 30Mbytes of hard drive space is free at all times
for new log data storage and general system reliability.
Software Navigation
Moving around within MoTeC Interpreter, as in any Windows® program, can
be achieved via either the Keyboard or a Pointing Device (Mouse, Trackball,
etc). Keyboard ‘Hot Keys’, ‘pop up’ and ‘pull down’ menus are all provided to
allow the user to navigate using their preferred technique.
The use of a combination of keyboard ‘Hot Keys’ keys and the pointing device
is usually the fastest way to control a program, especially when using the
sometimes difficult pointing device supplied with most notebook computers.
The Alt key will activate the pull down menus of the application currently
running, while the arrow keys allow navigation through the menu, and the
Enter key activates the menu item currently highlighted. A number of more
frequently used functions may have ‘Hot Keys’ to enable direct access without
using the menus. These ‘Hot Keys’ will be shown against the pull down
menu items, memorize the ones that may be useful to you.
The screen cursor moves in response to movement of the Mouse (Pointing
Device). Using the left mouse button when the cursor is on top of a menu
item or command button will activate that function. Double clicking an object
will usually select the object, while a right click will generally display the
relevant menu items for an object in a ‘Popup Menu’. This is usually a more
convenient way of accessing the menu functions. A description of specific
shortcut keys is included in later sections of this manual.
